Music Minute: Spencer Crandall - Western

 

Dynamic independent Country artist Spencer Crandall announces his fourth studio album, Western, due Oct. 21, 2022. A musical self portrait of Crandall's autobiography in song, Western follows the hero's journey to a life well lived, told throughout six chapters: Scorpion, Mustang, Revolver, Pickaxe, Desert and Gold. Exploring deeply personal themes such as addiction, therapy, the struggle for balance and a healthy sense of self, the completed project will include 20 tracks, 18 of which were carefully crafted by Crandall himself.   PRE-SAVE WESTERN HERE   “I think every great album should answer the questions: 'Where are you from?” 'Where are you now?' and 'Where are you going?' … and I believe I have done just that with Western,” shares Crandall. “I strive to create songs and tell stories that impact people's lives in a meaningful way, and to say I've put my entire heart into this album would be an understatement. My fans can expect the most vulnerable, energetic and authentic version of myself that I have ever put out, and I'm so honored that I get to tell these stories and share them with the world.”   Serving as a vulnerable display of Crandall's biggest dreams and fears, Western reveals a deeper level of authenticity and relatability from the “accomplished singer-songwriter” on the “cusp of Country music stardom” (People). After breaking into the Country scene in 2016, Crandall's grown his loyal following, dubbed “The Stadium Gang,” to nearly 3M strong. Proving himself as one of Country music's most sought after independent artists, the streaming sensation's album announcement comes as he soars to a quarter of a billion global artist streams, raking in over 175K streams per day with a proven trajectory.   The fully loaded project will include SiriusXM The Highway's chart-topper “Made,” as well as breakup anthem “Red Flags,” and focus track “Didn't Do,” which have already earned the album more than 30M streams. The record will also showcase Crandall's “ultra-smooth blend of Country and pop” (Taste of Country) as he puts his own twist on Justin Bieber's “Anyone” and a nod to his parent's 40+ year marriage with Shania Twain's “You're Still The One.”    The Denver, Colo. native's 26-stop headlining tour, the WESTERN TOUR, has already sold over 4K tickets.

ABOUT SPENCER CRANDALL: Unfiltered. Unconventional. And above all, unapologetic. Those are the defining traits of a whole new generation of Country star – and Spencer Crandall is one of them. As one of Country's most progressive new talents, self-made and as dynamic as they come, Crandall has no time to say “sorry” for his raw, soul-baring stories. Driven toward greatness, he has no remorse for his big dreams, and pulls no punches with his ever-evolving sound. The Nashville based artist has spent years combining pop's untamed energy with the confessional lyricism of Country, opening up territory no one before him even knew existed – and with his ambitious new 20-track album, Western, the frontier expands again. Growing up in Denver with a tight knit family, the creative powerhouse was taught hard work and dedication, and learned his lessons well – even playing football in college. But when injuries ended his career, the standout athlete was officially out of his comfort zone. Fully embracing his natural, genre-defying instincts, with ultra-smooth vocals, deeply-personal themes and hot-blooded performances, Crandall now counts 1.2M monthly Spotify listeners, 250M total career streams, more than 2.5M followers on TikTok, and fan engagement so off the charts it drives sold-out shows around the nation. He released three albums before Western, will make his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2022, and continues pushing toward the ultimate goal of a sold-out stadium performance – Western is just the next step.
